Police were today investigating a possible link between a shooting and a stabbing that took place within hours of each other on Peckham's Tustin Estate.

A 21-year-old man was shot in the leg in Ormside Street at about 4am, three hours before a 19-year-old was stabbed in nearby Ilderton Street, at the Old Kent Road junction.

Both men were understood to be seriously injured in hospital following the attacks, which happened just yards from a primary school.

“Police were called at 4.11am on Sunday to reports of a shooting in Ormside Street, SE15,” said a Scotland Yard spokeswoman.

“Officers and London Ambulance Service attended the scene and found a 21-year-old man suffering a gunshot injury to his leg.

“He was taken to a south London hospital where his condition is serious but stable.

“Police were called at 7.11am to a man stabbed in Ilderton Road, SE15.

“Officers and London Ambulance Service LAS attended. A 19-year-old man was taken to hospital suffering a stab injury. His condition is serious but stable.

“Officers from Southwark CID are investigating alongside Trident colleagues.

“No arrests have been made and enquires continue.”

Ilderton Road remained shut into the afternoon while police investigated.

Police said it was "not yet confirmed" whether the incidents were linked but were investigating the possibility.

Anyone with information is asked to call police on 101 or phone Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
